Hopper is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to develop a public API for their travel portal. You'll work with Scala and GCP services, collaborating closely with engineers and product managers. This role requires strong product thinking and backend development experience.
You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience, particularly in building production systems that scale effectively. You take ownership of your work and are driven to deliver quality results quickly, understanding the balance between what needs to be perfect from the start and what can be iterated upon. Your experience includes deep expertise in Scala, and you are comfortable navigating complex codebases to achieve your goals. You possess strong product thinking skills, ensuring that your conception of quality is always anchored in the customer experience. You thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to ensure alignment and success.
Experience with GCP services is a plus, as is familiarity with frontend technologies like React and TypeScript. You are someone who enjoys exploring engineering improvements and is eager to contribute to the overall product development process. You have a knack for documenting your work and maintaining clear communication with your team and external partners.
In this role, you will design, build, and operate a public API that enables partners to create a world-class travel portal. You will work autonomously while maintaining close collaboration with your fellow engineers and the product team to ensure high alignment on project goals. Your day-to-day will involve exploring engineering improvements and implementing best practices to enhance the product and the team's efficiency. You will also be responsible for providing best-in-class support for partners, helping them scale their businesses effectively. Your contributions will directly impact the success of Hopper's technology solutions and the overall travel experience for users.
Hopper offers a fully remote work environment, allowing you to work from anywhere in Mexico. You will be part of a dynamic team that emphasizes asynchronous decision-making and minimal meetings, fostering a culture of strong alignment and collaboration.
